Abstract
An air bag module (10) includes an air bag (14) and an inflator (18). A canister (16) defines a chamber (42) for receiving a housing (190) of the inflator (18). Each one of a pair of straps (20, 22) has an upper end portion (202, 222) located in a first recessed portion (70, 72) on a first upper flange (50) of the canister (16). Each strap (20, 22) has a lower end portion (204, 224) located in a first recessed portion (130, 132) on a first lower flange (110) of the canister (16). The canister (16) has a plurality of second recessed portions (170, 172) forming standoffs which project into the chamber (42) for engaging spaced surface portions (194, 196) of the inflator housing (190). The straps (20, 22) clamp the inflator housing (190) against the second recessed portions (170, 172) of the canister (16).
